posted Chasing/ Fleeing/ Dodging Games
I'm about to start my unit on chasing/fleeing/and dodging.  For grades 3-5 I want to do some sort of capture game.  I have viewed some of the related views on here but wanted to know if anyone else had a new twist on a game.  I could also use some ideas for K-2 as well.  Thanks!

posted Best Relay Race Ideas for Field Day
I'm using different zones for my field day this year and one zone will be dedicated to relay races.  I will have 5-6 relays within the zone.  I'm trying to think of some creative races that students may not have done before.  If you have any fun races that you have used in the past, please send them my way!!  Thank you!

posted Field Day Help!
I'm in the process of putting together my first field day: Theme-Olympics K-2 will come on a Thursday from 10-1(15 Classes) 3-5 will come on a Friday from 10-1 (15 Classes) Is the best thing to do is to have 15 different stations that classes rotate through? Any suggestions would be great!

posted Olympic Inspired Field Day
So the theme of my field day this year is Olympics.  Each class will represent a different country and they will make flags and dress similar for our 'opening ceremony'.   We will then have different stations that imitate olympic events.  This is in the early stages and was wondering if anyone had good ideas or if they have used this theme before.  All input is appreciated!

posted Kicking Lesson Ideas
I'm in the process of creating a kicking lesson for my elementary students.  We have already gone over kicking/passing as it relates to soccer.  I was looking to reinforce kicking a rolled object in a recreational aspect.  I've seen a few of the cardio kickball activities but was also wondering if anyone else had some creative activities to reinforce "kicking with the shoelaces."  All suggestions are appreciated!
